I like Mother Teresa she did wonderful human works ...but I believe if she spoke the truth about herself and her ministry she is sharing eternity in hell with those she ministered to.

It never surprises me when satan uses people to attack saintly people like Mother Teresa.These types can only be driven out by prayer and fasting and might even need an exorcism.

Let’s face it, in this present world, none of us knows who is in hell and who is not.

I believe that God meant what He said when He said: “Judge not.”

I also understand what St. Paul meant when he said: “I do not even judge myself.”

She collected dying people off the streets and gave them a place to die. There's probably no way of knowing if she or her helpers, actually told these souls the Gospel, ie of Jesus, before they died, or even if they were in a position to hear it. She wanted "love" to save them. Her "love" didnt do much for them physically and certainly not spiritually. It appears she used them as the vehicle to "preach" to the Hindus.

Mother Theresa, like all Catholics, preached that the way to Jesus was through "the blessed Virgin Mary". Like I noted earlier, even at the first of Genesis, in the Cain and Abel story, God said that the way to worship Him was through the blood of the lamb (Jesus), yet Cain insisted he had a better way.

Theresa also said this:

We never try to convert to Christianity those who receive our help, but in our work we bear witness to the love of God’s presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men-simply better-we will be satisfied. (Life in the Spirit: Reflections, Meditations and Prayers, pp. 81-82) If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are….What God is in your mind you must accept.” (Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work, p. 156)

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the blood is on her hands for not telling dying people the truth as we have no way of knowing what conscious state these people were and are, in at the time of death.

But much more alarming is her belief that her good works will make "better people" out of Hindus, Moslems, agnostics (unbelievers) etc.

Also they one must "accept whatever god is in your mind", what the heck is that?!!!

So in other words, if you believe in Allah, that's good, my works may have made you a better Muslim. An unbeliever? that's good-- my works made you a better unbeliever. Your're a devil worshipper? That's good----total absurdity.
